The dust on their sandals lay heavy and white, Their garments were damp with the tears of the night ; Their hot feet aweary, and throbbing with pain, As they entered the gates of the city of is am. Hut lo ! on the pathway a sorrowing throng l'ressed, mournfully chanting the fuueral song, And like a sad monotone, ceaseless and slow, The voice of a woman came laden with woe. "What need, stricken mothers, to tell how she wept ? Ye read, by the vigils that sorrow hath kept, Ye know by the. travail of anguish and pain, The desolate grief of tho widow of 'ain. As he who was first of the wayfaring men Advanced, the mute burden was lowered, and then As Le tom bed the white grave-cloths that covered the bier The In arers shrank back, but the mother drew near. Her snow-sprinkled tresses had loosened their strands ; Great tears fell unchecked on the tightly clasped hands ; Iiut hushed the wild sobbing, and stilled her cries, As Jesus of Nazareth lifted his eyes. JCyes wet with compassion as slowly they fell Kyes potent to soften griefstrerunlous swell, As, sweetly and tenderly, "Weep not," he said, And turned to the passionless face of the dead. White, white gleamed his forehead, loose rippled the Lair, Uronze-ttnted, o'er temples transparently fair ; Ami a glory stole up front the earth to the skies, As he called to the voiceless one, "Young man, arise !" The hard, rigid outlines grew fervid with breath, The dull eyes unclosed from the midnight of death ; Weep, weep, happy mother, and fall at his L-et : Life's pain, blighted promise grown hopt-ful and sweet. The morning had passed, and the midday heats burned : Once more to the pathway the wayfarers turned. The conqueror of kings had been conquered again : There was joy iu the house of the widow of nin.

JAC1M1 P. ST1NEMAN. Houth Fork, Fob. 11, l'.;l.-f.t. Bxeeutor. The revival of the celebrated Jumel case, which for years has Leen dragging its slow length through the l'ew York courts nat urally tccalls the narr.e and history of the mail who figured as the second laisband of tiie woman whose property bids fair to be swallowed up in the insatiate maw of the legal profession. We do not of course pro pose to attempt any biography or criticism of one who has been so thoroughly cruci fied by the pens of scribblers of high and low degrees, as Aaron Burr; but the noto riety lie has gained lends a strong interest to some details of his domestic life which are entirely familiar to the majority of tho newspaper readers. It was while commanding his regiment in New Jersey during tho early years of the Revolutionary war, that C'olouel Burr made the acquaintance of the lady who af terwards became his first wife, and the mother of that incomparable daughter, whose genius and fidelity Lave almost re deemed her father's name. Mrs. Tlieotlo sia I'revost was then the wife of Col. Pre vost of the British army, at, that time in the West Indies. fche resided at Paramus, with her mother and sister and two sous the latter uprightly little fellows whose: vivacity could not be other that attractive lo a man so passionately fond of bright chilUi-en as Burr was till the day of his death. Mrs. Pi eyost was ten years youngei thau the oilicer whom she captivated by her rare grace and culture, but neither the difference in age, nor absence of beauty, lesteiied her cl.i.im in his estimation. Her family the De Yienues-was of Frencn or Swiss origin, and she herself was the first woman educated iu accordance with the European standard whom Burr had ever n.et. tshe was thoroughly versed in the best liteiature of the day, and undoubt edly did much toward forming the taste and shaping the intellectual development of an admirer, who, above all things in the world, appreciated brains particularly w hen lodged in a female head. Her man ners are represented to have been the per fection of elegance and rclniement, and Ling after she had been mercifully taken away from the evil to conic, Burr was ac customed to say that if his own manners were in any respect superior to those of 1110:1 111 general, it was uiauuy owing to the insensiblu liihueuce 01 hers, borne unpub lished letters from her hand which e Lave seen, abundantly conOrni this esti mate of her character the penmanship is exquisitely neat and clear, and the matter is no less remarkable for its vigorous com mon sense, than for the adniiiable style iu which it is set foilh. "We have said that Burr was an admirer of Mrs. Prevost, but there is not the slight est reason to suppose that his admiration ever went beyond the bounds of strict pro priety, or that her behavior was in any re fi ect unworthy the position she occupied. If she was conscious of the impression she had made, that consciousness never re vealed itself iu word or act and it is the most wretched injustice to fasten upon her reputation even the shadow of the stain which rests upon him whose brighter for tunes she had shared. But when, notlong after their first meeting, C ol. Prevost died, it is probable that this mutual self-restraint gradually began to disappear; for we know that when Hurr resigned from the army 111 lTld, they were engaged to be married the ceremony being delayed only by those pecuniary considerations which cannot be overlooked even in the delirium of passion ate love. Both were poor, and let it be lcmcmbered as a slight atonement for his many subsequent transgressions, that Burr deliberately married for affection and not for money. He was young, handsome and brilliant ; he had come out of the war with a splendid record for bravery and military skill ; he had beguu the practice of the law under the most favorable auspices ; ho was universally regarded as a rising man whose future could not fail to be glorious, and with the.- recommendations he might have wooed and won a younger and lovelier J bride, who would have brought him the iutluence of her family as well as the more tangible blessiivg of an ample fortune. To say that Burr did not see the advantages which might result from making what is now termed "a good match" is t-j supposo him a fool which certainly ho was not. That he put aside these advantages while erfectly comprehending their weight is at least an evidence that his heart was not quite as hard, his selfishness not quite as profound as enemies would have us believe. Burr was admitted to the bar January V.), 17S2, and on the 2d of July following he married Mrs. Provost she then being ii'i years old and he G. The pair took up their residence in Albanjr, where June 24, 178:5 Theodosia w as born. As far as w e are able to judge from the scanty material :'.t our command, the union was from first to last a happy one. Wedded to the wo man he loved, surrounded by the purest and tenderest associations, with no cause for anxiety, present or prospective, and with everything to stimulate his ambition and gratify his wishes the next twelve years were by far the best and brightest of Burr's long and varied career. How he must have looked back to those years from the gloomy standpoint of that period, when there could hardly be found hi the whole country a dozen persons who dared to call themselves his friends ! Mrs. Burr died of cancer in the spring of 1791 in time to escajie the abuse and igno miny which were destined so soon to blast her husband's name forever. When the grave opened for her, Burr's star was high iu the heavens ; ten years afterward it set in eternal night 011 the heights of Weehaw ken. The bullet which killed Hamilton annihilated Burr. Better, infinitely better for him had the lightning smote him be fore he touched the fatal trigger. Bliza,or Betsey Bowcn afterwards Mad ame Jumel and the second Mrs. Burr was born, it is sid, in Providence, about the year 1775. Her mother was a prosti tute, and the daughter seems to have fol lowed, for a time at least, the same pro fession. She was for several years a ser vant in the family of Major Ballon, and while there gave birth Oct. 0, 1791 to Geoige Washington Bowen, the plaintiff in the suit now pending. Ballon was sup posed to be the father of the child, and took no pains to relieve himself fromXthe burden of the unwelcome bono;-. Born after arriving at the dignity of materuity BetscT left Providence' and we nt to parts unknown, leaving the child in the charge of Ballou. Several years later she return ed, bringing wi.h her the body of a sea captain, whom it is thought she had bsen living with during the liittrvnL me de ceased mariner was duly deposited in the earth, and his widow, or mistress, lingered about the city for seme tlir.c and then went to New York, where, by means never ex plained, the managed to many Stephen Juaiel, a wealthy French moreliPnt. This was in 10-1. l"n ltl.j tin? Juniels went abroad and lived in great splendor In Paris until 1S22 ; when they returned to New York somewhat poorer than when thoy left, but still rich enough for all reasonable purposes. A story is current that Mad ame Jumel attempted to deliver a lecture in Providence on the French Court, but being threatened with a mob, was compelled to abandon her supremely impudent un dertaking. Jumel himself died in 133o, and next year Burr, aged 73, married Madame married her for her money, and contrived to waste so much of it thac in a very short time she instituted proceedings for a divorce. We believe the divorce was never legally consummated, but the par ties ceased to live together, and never met during the last two cars of Burr's life. Madame Jumel died July 13, 18.".", and the battlo for her gocd, chattels and real es tate has been going on ever since. St. Louis Republican. What They Arc Tliittlciny About. TIIE MAURTED MAN.

The question is easy to ask, But to answer it fully, my dear, Were rather a difficult task ; And yet, in a bantering way, As the whipporwilt sings iu the glade I'll venture a bit of a lay. To tell how a paper is made. An editor sits at his desk And ponders on things that appear To be claiming the thoughts of the world Things solemn, and comic, and queer, And when he has hit on a theme He judges it Well to parade, He writes, and he writes, and ha writes, And that's how a paper is made. An editor sits at his desk And puzzles his brain to make out "Telegraph" so squabbled and mixed It's Lard to tell what it's almut ; Exchanges are lying around While waiting despatches delayed, He clips, and he clips, and he clips, And that's how a paper is made. An editor out in the town. In search of the things that are- new The things that the people have clone, The thiol's they're intending to do Goes i;epiiig and prying aliout, For ileuis of many a grade ; He tramps, and he tramps, and he tramps, And that's how a paper is made. And all that these workers prepare, Of every conceivable stripe, Is sent to the printer, and he Pro'.-eedcth to stick it in type : His lines, all respecting his will. In slow moving columns parade ; lie sticks, and hd sticks, and he sticks, And that's how a paper is made. In short, when the type is set, And errors cleaned up, more or less, 'Tis, "locked in a form," a9 we say, And hurried away to the press ; The pressman arranges Ids sheet, His ink gives the rcqjiirite shad, Then lm prints, and he prints, and he prints, And that's how a paper is m;ule. Mic. nrrri's valentine. BY MAX ADELEIt. Jim Duffy loved. lie was not singular in this other DufFys had done the same thing; but it was Jim Duffy's peculiar for tune that while he loved but one woman, two women loved him. Miss Staitli was tho beautiful blue-eyed being to whom he had given his he trt, and to w hom he would cheerfully have given his liver or his ribs, or any other portion of his framework, if the custom of society had mado such an anatomical surrender proper. Miss C'lamm was the faded flower who had fixed her battered and venerable affec tions upon Mr. PulTy without any provoca tion having been ofivred by him, and Mr. Duffy hated.Clanim with quite as much iu UMiity as he loved Smith, because Clamm would al ways hasten to him at the church meetings and the evening companies, and gush over to him in the presence of people, and in.--.ist upon his company Louie at the very moment when he had uutei mined to escort Miss Smith. And so, when St. Valentine's day came round, Duffy thought it would be a clever idea to send a proposal of marriage to Miss Smith, and at the same time to cool the enthusiasm of Clamrn with an outrageous comic valentine of some kind. He pro cured one of these immediately, and then wrote to his only Smith a note beginning with "Dearest"' and ending with "Yours till death." Unhappily it came to pass that Mr. Duffy placed each of these papers in the wrong envelope ; and while the com ic a'.iair went away to Smith, a direct pro posal proceeded to Clamrn. Nothing could have been more unfortunate, for 110 sooner did the aforesaid Clamrn receive Dulfy's note than bhe suddenly did up her back hair, put on her bonnet, assumed her um brel'a and gum shoes, and started by the shortest route to James Duffy's residence. When the front door was opened, she dashed past the hired girl and into the sitting-room, where, finding Jim reading a newspaper, she llung her arms about bis neck, dropped her head upon his shoulder and hoi umbrella upon his coi n, and ex claimed : "Take me, take me, James ! Take me, dearest ! I am yours yours forever." A . 11.. 1 . 1.1 p.vo- ence of mind, he struggled to disengage himself, while he attempted to explain to her that he should not take her; that he did not want her; that she was not liis forever, or for five minutes ; and that if she did not remove her forehead from his vest, and her umbrella from the vicinity of his toe, he should bo compelled to call the police. But Miss Clamrn would hear 110 expla nation. She nestled closer and closer to his waistcoat, and cried into his watch pocket, and kept plunging her umbrella about with such erratic vigor, that Mr. Duffy's left foot continually exocuted half of the w altz movements in an effort to save its most sensitive exerctceuce from torture. But at last, when Clamrn muttered some thing about fixing the wedding day and making it soon, Jim Duffy t jio himself away and fled to the garret, where he locked the door and tied the trap down with rope, lest, the invincible Clamrn should burst in upon him from that direction. Meantime, Miss Smith received tiie com ic valentine; and recognizing Duffy's hand writing upon the envelope, she was deeply pained, and she thought she might indi rectly obtain comfort and an explanation of the matter by calling upon her bosom friend, the sister of Mr. Unify. So she sallied out and reached the house. It hap pened by the very strange coincidence that her bonnet and cloak bore a kiud of geuer al resemblance to those worn by Clamrn ; and Duffy, when he beard the door-bell 1 ing. looked out from the garret window, and felt perfectly certain that the remorse less Miss Clamrn had returned for the pur pose of impressing more firmly upon his mind that she was hi forever and lie could take her. So Duffy did a most scandalous and tingcntlemanly thing. He emptied a bucket of water out of the window upon the figure lolow. Miss Smith went home damp and indig nant. A little while after her return, Clamrn, being in pursuit of her Duffy, called uku Miss Sm iiii, hoping to find him theie. She waited :a the parlor while Miss Smith changed her clothing, and meanwhile it really occurred to Mr. Dully to go to Smith's and ask for an answer to his proposal. It was a sunny day, and snow was upon thfc ground. The parlor and entry were gloomy ; and whf-11 Duity went iu, he could hardly see a hand-breadth before him. But the eye of Miss Clamm was upon liiui. As Lu came into the panor she flew toward him. lie perceived the in distinct outline of a woman's figure. He was of course saro that it was Mi-s Smith, ami he felt certain that sl.e was about to express her feelings by action lather than in language. So Duffy folded her in his arms and kissed her forehead, and asked her if she really loved him. She whispered yes, and as they stood there, while his heart overflowed with j.y, and ho wondered why Miss Smith should s.t in her own p.tilor with her umb:el!a in her hand, the wind blew one of the shutters oocn suddenly, and at the same moment i'l walked Miss Smith. j It was but no. I shall not attempt to describe that situation. It is impossible Everybody was agitated but Clamrn. .las Dally was dumfounded and horror-stricke 1 Miss Smith was amazed and farious ; but Chimin was collected she whs o 10I sine appeared to enjoy everything ; arid si:.' would probably have fallen upon Jim Duf fy's shoulder again and cooed, merely to let Miss Smith see how nice it was, had not Dutry dodged as he saw her coming, and jKiimitled her to smash her bonnet iigainst the sola cushion. Then Mr. Duffy undertook to tell Mi Smith Low it was, but naturally, aftr all that had happened, she was too much en raged to he.u ken to him, and she ordered both visitors fioin the house. They de parted, C'lamm with the hoV of her um brella handle firmly fixed in the pocket of James Duffy overcoat. But when they reached the etre;t, Du'Vy. in his agony and anger, expiessed his feel ings upon the subject of Clamm in such a violent and unmistakable manner that even she was convinced. And when she asked him if lie iuieii-.lcd to marry her aud he said no. she left Li:a and pr. coded at once to a lawyer, who beun asuii for blench of promise against Daily, htnl took it into court the next week. Duffy's letter to Smith was read in evi dence and C'lamm made Smith testify .is to tho proceedings in her parlor, which cut up the defendant horribly. Chimin her self sat there ail the time weeping fur the purpose of hari owing up the feelings of the jurymen, who give a verdict of .; (, (;:, damages to the plaintiiT, whereupon tin said plaintiff instantly began to oig:tni.t war upon a fresh man. Jim Dulfy is still single. I know him well. lie seems to hate women ; ami whenever he has to write a note to one, he always takes "tout of the envelope fourteen or mtecn times to assure himself that he has the right document, and that a chemi cal analysis could not detect an otter of marriage in it.

In addition to his partially unbalanced mind, young Weeks was the possessor of as huge and ungainly a pair of feet as ever trod shoe leather. Tired of his importunities, and not being disposed to grant the license, the Association handed him owr to Smith, with instructions to make an "end of the case, and between them took place the fol lowing conversation: Smith "So, Brother Yt'eoks, you think ! you have a special call to preach Weeks "Yes, the Lord h.s called tr.o to the work, but the AsSociati u lefuscs the license." Smith "How ck you know that von a.e called?' Weeks "Know it? I feel it in my he.t of hearts. I want my license." Smith "Do von believe the Bible, Broth er Weeks?'

You, sir, have the most mon strous feet in the State of Kentucky; there fore, by this Bible, ii. is clear that you have not b.cn specially called." As Smith finished hi remarks, the entire Association went oil' in a paroxysm of laugh ter, and Weeks, really concluding that Le had not been "called," bolted from the meeting-house, and never afterwaid an noyed the Association for a license. A Strange Prf-nom-non.

As it is, there is not the least possible doubt of there being any deceotiou ab rut it. Tin curiosity was nothing less than a ball of hair, somewhat larger than a man's double list, which was taken, at a posi-mortaa ex amination, from the body of Mrs. Mont gomery, who died some months since. It was located entirely outside the stomach and intestines, so that it had ho connect ion with the food eaten, ami hence must have been produced by some action of the system itself. Some of the hairs are three or four feet loug, and were rolled up in a kind of tuft. It is the strangest Hght wc ever be held, and, we believe, it is the eighth or ninth well established case of the kirn! that has ever occurred.
